As a member of the CNA 14000 family, the OCe14102 uses a 10Gbit/s DCB (Converged Enhanced Ethernet) infrastructure for networking and storage, reducing capital expense (CapEx) for adapters, switches and cables, and operational expense (OpEx) for power, cooling and IT administration. The OCe14102 adapter increases data center IT agility and scalability, as well as optimation of the server hardware utilization by scaling high density virtualization.

The Emulex engine XE104 supports a single full-duplex up to 2 ports with 10GbE or 4 ports with 1GbE in a single chip solution for DynamicLoM. Thus provides perfect space efficiency without the need of extra PCIe slot allocation like architectures with usual Network Interface Cards (NIC). Also the XE100 series is designed to deliver driving scalability and flexibility for converged infrastructures, while it offers a greater bandwidth with the PCI Express 3.0 standard (PCIe 3.0).

The Fujitsu Network Adapter "Emulex OCe14102" is from the fourth generation of the Emulex OneConnect® product line OCe14000. The OCe14000 family of Ethernet network adapters provides high performance 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity delivering multiple benefits for the enterprise cloud, including increasing data center IT agility and scalability through the deployment of a secure multi-tenant cloud. This optimizes server hardware utilization by scaling high density virtualization as well as delivering user-controlled bandwidth partitioning across workloads and management services.

As a member of the CNA 14000 family, the OCe14401 uses a 40Gbit/s DCB (Converged Enhanced Ethernet) infrastructure for networking and storage, reducing capital expense (CapEx) for adapters, switches and cables, and operational expense (OpEx) for power, cooling and IT administration. The OCe14401 adapter increases data center IT agility and scalability, as well as optimation of the server hardware utilization by scaling high density virtualization.

As a member of the OCe14000 network adapter family the Fujitsu OCe14102-NT offers a high performance networking solution, which perfectly fits for virtualization, enterprise cloud and datacenter tasks. The difference - in contrast to the Emulex OCe14102 adapter - is the use of the RJ45 connector type. This connector is compatible with CAT6/6A/7/7A twisted pair cabling standards for a maximum 10Gb strong Ethernet connectivity at very low costs. The NIC only adapter OCe14102-NT focusses on cloud functions; it can thus not handle the storage off-load functions (iSCSI and FCoE) of a Converged Network Adapter.

Designed specifically for HPC, the Omni-Path Host Fabric Interface (HFI) uses an advanced connectionless design that delivers performance that scales with high node and core counts, making it the ideal choice for the most demanding application environments.
